From Cape Henry Shores neighborhood watch …

The following was received by a CHS resident:

We live on Long Creek and frequently deal with boats throwing a wake,
but we’ve never had any of our CHS neighbors as the culprits and we
realize we will always deal w/ disrespectful boaters.

However,
tonight a dangerous thing happened on Long Creek and I was wondering
if it’s appropriate to spread an email b/c I suspect the parents of
the culprit or perhaps the friend of the culprit live in our
neighborhood. At approximately 10:15 tonight (after the fireworks) we
could hear a boat speeding in our direction coming from the park.

Both of our neighbors across the water on Bay Island happened to be
out and all of us went to the edge in time to see what appeared to be
a grey or blue center console boat, probably around 20′-24′ long,
speed by so fast it’s a wonder docked boats, pylons, or floating piers
weren’t hit. Thank goodness no late-night kayakers or paddle boarders
were out (as there sometimes are) b/c there’s no question they would
have been killed. All of the boats docked along the creek rocked and
hit pylons or bulkheads!

After the boat sped by, my neighbor across the water screamed that the boat had turned into CHS. Because it sped by so quickly we couldn’t determine how many people were in the boat, but we’re all reasonably certain there were at least 2 guys who seemed
to be teenagers.

If you have any information on who the boaters could have been, please
contact me and i can put you in touch with the resident.

From Cape Story Neighborhood Watch:

Last evening (Sun. Jun 29), a small white dog was attacked by a pit bull in our park. The caretaker was also injured when trying to break up the attack. The dog and woman where both taken to the hospital. The pit bull was the one who had been reported missing earlier. Many people are concerned about how the woman and dog are but no one that I have talked to know who they are. If anyone can provide an update, it would be appreciated by all. The pit bull was taken by Animal Control to be put down. Thank you.

Thanks to Cape Henry Neighborhood Watch for sharing.

From Cape Story Neighborhood Watch:

The following received from a resident on Beech St.

On Tuesday, at approximately 2:30pm, two teenage girls disembarked from the school bus.

They stopped to talk before parting ways at the bike path.

A white male in his mid-40’s walked past them on the bike path with his private parts exposed.

When my daughter started walking down the bike path toward home, he turned around and followed her.

She ran back to her friend and they ran to the friend’s home where an adult was waiting.

Police were called and a report was filed.

The man was wearing black athletic shorts, a gray t-shirt, white walking shoes and knee socks. He had no facial hair.

Please remember to call 911 if you see a crime in action and call 385-5000, option 1, to report crimes after they have occurred or to report any suspicious activity. Also, please call or email the NW Coordinator so crime reports and suspicious activities can be shared with all of our residents.

More details posted 9.11.13 @ 646p:

The man is described as overweight, height about 5′ 7″ and had a receding hairline so the victims couldn’t distinguish his hair color. If anyone has any information about this man, please call the police at 385-5000.

From Cape Story neighborhood watch:

A resident on Wake Forest St. heard very loud fireworks this afternoon at the end of Bayberry St. near Long Creek. The resident was certain the noise was something other than ordinary fireworks. Not only is this annoying, they could start a serious fire, and it can be very dangerous to some people who might have serious reactions to the loud noise. If you witness anyone setting off any explosive devices, or know who is doing it, please call 911. You have the option of remaining anonymous.

This is the second report of these extremely loud explosive sounds. I am forwarding this email to our Crime Prevention Officer with a request for forwarding to the Second Precinct.
